Chicago’s Gold Coast is a historic district that emerged after the Great Chicago Fire. Legend has it that following the completion of the Palmer Mansion—a grand, 42-room castle-like residence—other affluent families were inspired to settle in the area. This led to the creation of what would become Chicago’s wealthiest neighborhood. By the 1980s, the Gold Coast, alongside neighboring Streeterville, was the second most affluent area in the United States, trailing only Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Today, much of this rich history is still visible, with a blend of historic mansions, row houses, and luxury buildings. Unsurprisingly, the neighborhood is also home to some of Chicago’s most renowned and longstanding restaurants and bars, such as Gibson’s Bar & Steakhouse, Maple & Ash, Adalina, and Carmine’s.

The Subject Property is situated on the north side of Cedar Street, one of the most coveted addresses in the area. This prime location offers easy access to renowned restaurants, bars, and a wealth of conveniences. Just one block from the iconic Oak Street Beach and Chicago’s breathtaking lakefront trail, which stretches 18 miles from the city’s northernmost neighborhood to Indiana. Residents enjoy easy access to Lake Shore Drive, Michigan Avenue buses, the Magnificent Mile, and Chicago’s central business district.
